A Harvest That Hurts: Clandestine Pot Gardens Cause Ecological Damage

The drug war is not a victimless crime.

I know it and you know it, but the pot heads among us keep claiming that it is a victimless crime.

Did I need to include a "/sarc" with my original post??

[TKDietz]

Drug use in most cases is a victimless crime, just as drinking alcohol is a victimless activity in most cases. The "drug war" isn't technically a crime, although some would characterize it as such. It certainly has its victims though.

[Know your rights]

The drug war is a crime against natural law.

[PaxMacian]

Guerilla growing is a symptom of the federal government's failure to do its duty to regulate that commerce by attempting to ban that commerce unsuccessfully, for it is the will of the people transacted despite any terror campaign waged upon them by tyrannical zealots of extreme puritanism.

Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

[Know your rights]

In my reality, adult humans are reasoning free-willed individuals, who are thus capable of choosing and acting on their own ends and not properly treated as means to others' ends ... that is, who have rights that are limited only by the equal rights of others, including the right to make, sell, and use drugs.

What sort of beings are adult humans in your reality?

[onyx]

Not drug addicts.

[PaxMacian]

Addiction is a concoction of the satanic psych community.
It denies the existence of free will and thereby freedom.
This faction, or sub-Oligarchy, attempts to control the wills of others in matters outside the purview of government for their inherently private and religious nature as bound by the Constitution. It is treason to usurp the bounds of power detailed in our Constitution in order to force your will upon the wills of others no matter how much faith of conviction as to the rightfulness of that will you possess. They will have you believe they are the angels to save you from the evil substance. However, this is an ancient heresy, for evil has no substance. Evil is nothing but the abscence of the presence of God or willfull action adverse to the will of God. In whose name do the DEAmen in black armor and black masks break down the doors of homes to shoot innocent citizens in their beds for the mere possession of an herb from the Garden of God?

Drug addicts are not adult, or not human? And why not?

And what about nonaddicted users of alcohol and other drugs?

FGS --- you are clueless.

[onyx]

I am not interested in discussing drug legalization.
You'll have to continue acquiring yours on the black market.

*snort*

[Know your rights]

I am not interested in discussing drug legalization.

If, like you, I had no rational arguments to support my position, I wouldn't discuss it either.

[onyx]

You're a one trick poster.
Not worth my time. Understand?

[Know your rights]

Not worth my time.

If that was true, you wouldn't have posted this. The truth is that you have no rational arguments to support your position.

[onyx]

Wrong again.

There is NO rationality to your doper position and as for the reason I am posting again to you --- I like to have the last word.

[muir_redwoods]

You are right. The war on drugs is a crime

[Know your rights]

There is NO rationality to your doper position

If you could produce an actual argument to support your claim, you would ... but you don't because you can't.

as for the reason I am posting again to you --- I like to have the last word.

However content-free your words are.

[onyx]

I must have the last word!
Last word.

[DustyMoment]

You are right. The war on drugs is a crime

No, it isn't. I was being sarcastic.

[HiTech RedNeck]

So what are you *snorting*?
